Academy of Social Sciences recently made an analysis of industry market share and indicators of competitiveness in more than 100 countries, and it showed that China ranked the first in the world.
However, the releasing party talked more about the plight that the China's manufacturing industry is facing. Jin Bei, director of the Institute of Industrial Economics of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that China has also made paid a staggering price behind achieving great achievements in the back. Almost all of the NO1s that China has achieved are achieved in exchange of cheap labor and resources, and China is also facing the enormous pressure on the environment. Jiang Yong believes that when Britain, America and Japan acted as the "world factory", they basically grasped the initiative in the international division of labor, and there were abundant and cheap international resources. The producing models of "made in America" and "made in Japan" were based on cheap oil at the price of only a few dollars per barrel. While China was hit by an era in which there was a surge in oil prices from several dollars per barrel to hundred dollars and the high oil prices become the normal. In addition, a lot of capacity which can not be digested has been poured abroad, which has become the world's number one target of attack against trade protectionism. By the end of 2010, for 16 consecutive years, China has undergone the most anti-dumping investigations in the world. For five consecutive years, it has experienced as the world's most national anti-subsidy investigations. This year the "world first" may still fall on the Chinas head. Statistics show that from January to September this year alone, China suffered from 50 cases of investigations from the global trade remedy. Among them, restriction measures from developing countries against trade with China have significantly increased. It has been the easiest for the chemical products to trigger trade friction between China and other countries.

In recent years, other countries frequently adopt anti-dumping, and countervailing polices and carry out the safeguard measures as well as special safeguard measures, which involved products including caustic soda, soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, phosphoric acid salt, carbon black, spandex, glyphosate, pesticides, monomers, chemical raw materials, synthetic organic dyes, polyester staple fiber, sulfanilic acid, p-nitroaniline, PTFE, tetrafluoroethane, melamine, oxalic acid, barium carbonate, rubber chemicals, tires, etc. In 2010, China's petrochemical industry suffered a total of 15 foreign trade remedy investigations, the total number of annual accounting for about 1 / 4 of the total number in the year. Meanwhile, not only the developed countries such as the U.S., EU and other developed countries and regions adopt trade protection against China. Other emerging economies and developing countries such as India, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Pakistan also produced obstacles to Chinas trade. At present, Chinese labor-intensive producing model is extensive, and the export growth is mainly dependent on the low price and the promotion of large quantity. The level of product processing is low level and the added value is small. There is a lack of brand names. The lower the state is, the more vulnerable China is to challenges.
